Police: Assault continued even after officers arrived

Police said a 30-year-old man was arrested and booked on multiple counts after officers witnessed him assault a woman at an Omaha home.

Officers were called to a home near 36th and Pratt streets around 5 a.m. Wednesday to investigate a domestic violence assault.

Police said that even after responding officers entered the home, Travis Thompson continued to assault the 35-year-old woman, holding her on the ground and biting her.

Officers used a Taser in an attempt to stop the assault, but police said Thompson continued.

Police were eventually able to separate Thompson from the victim, but officers said Thompson remained uncooperative and continued to resist attempts to restrain him as he was transported to a hospital and then Douglas County Corrections.

Thompson was booked on counts of strangulation, felony resisting arrest, and disturbing the peace.
